FLINT, MI – The Genesee County Democratic Party’s progressive caucus will host a fundraiser for two of its endorsed candidates on Tuesday, July 16.

The fundraiser is from 4:30 to 8 p.m., at the White Horse Tavern, 621 W. Court St., Flint. The cost is $35.

Money collected will go to support Phil Phelps in his race for the 49th District seat in the state House of Representatives and Flint City Councilwoman Claudia Croom in her reelection bid in Flint’s First Ward.

The $35 will cover pizza, salad, soft drinks and coffee. There will be a cash bar available, according to a news release.

Croom and Phelps face Aug. 6 primary challengers.

The progressive caucus is one of about 10 within the party and the endorsements don't mean the county party as a whole has not officially endorsed anyone.
